Skyrocketing Rent, Cryopreservation of Human Tissue, and Addressing "Space Junk"

The cost of rent in Canada is dwarfing minimum wage in every province. We discuss what needs to be done to address this widespread disparity with Ricardo Tranjan, Senior Researcher with ‘The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives’.   Five years ago it sounded like science fiction, but now researchers from the University of Alberta are a step closer to making the cryopreservation of human tissue a reality. We learn about the unique work being done at the U of A from Jason Acker, Professor of Transfusion Medicine and Cryopreservation.   Satellites orbiting earth have to navigate a minefield of debris around our planet. So, what needs to be done to deal with space junk and who’s responsible for ‘taking out the non-terrestrial trash’. We discuss with Hugh Lewis, Professor of Astronautics from the ‘University of Southampton’.
